There is a possibility that Derek Jeter‘s final game at Yankee Stadium could get rained out. That is hilarious.
Next year, how about a 30 ballpark tour celebrating Hank Aaron and Willie Mays while they are still with us?
That and Wild Card scenarios on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Justin Turner, Zack Greinke, Nick Markakis, David Price, Matt Holliday, Cole Hamels, Brian McCann and Sonny Gray all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball?
